Historical volatility
Historical volatility reflects the past price movements of an underlying asset. Generally, this is calculated by determining the average deviation from the average price of a financial instrument in the given time period. Historical volatility is important because it helps to predict future price movements and estimate or calculate risk.

Interest rate changes in the US are felt throughout the markets, where even a 0.25% increase or decrease is capable of triggering volatility. This tool gauges expectations from market participants about the probability of a change in interest rates when the US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) next meets to discuss monetary policy. The further beyond a 50% probability the indicator suggests an interest rate hike is likely, the higher the likelihood that the FOMC will increase interest rates. Anything below 50% probability reflects the sentiment that a rate rise is unlikely.

Market sentiment indicators evaluate investor sentiment – whether investors feel bullish or bearish about the market. The data used to calculate these indicators is the accumulation of a variety of fundamental and technical factors which include price history, economic reports, seasonal factors, and national and world events.

Slippage is a phenomenon where prices may change as a trade is being placed; therefore, traders may enter or exit a trade at a price that is higher or lower than they wanted. This occasionally happens because of high volatility, unexpected market news, economic data and news releases, opening and closing hours.

Whenever there is an imbalance of buyers, sellers, prices and trade volumes, prices will need to change and trade orders have to be adjusted to the next available price.
Slippage should be regarded as a positive indication that the trader is engaging with a fair and transparent market.

Slippage cannot be completely avoided, but it can be reduced. One way for traders to reduce the risk of experiencing slippage is to confirm that their brokerage works with a number of liquidity providers. Another way for traders to avoid slippage is to try to avoid trading during periods of high volatility.

Volatile trading environments usually increase the chances for slippage as price moves at a faster pace and at wider intervals. FXB Trading works with a number of liquidity providers to ensure that our clients always receive the best market prices.
